Nonresonant muon pair production in electron-positron annihilation in the field of light wave

In the frame of the Born approximation it was theoretically investigated nonresonant muon pair production in e ⁺ e ⁻ collision in the field of elliptically polarized electromagnetic wave in the general relativistic case. It was analyzed in detail the reaction kinematics. It was derived the expressions for the amplitude and the cross section of the nonresonant muon pair production in e ⁺ e ⁻ annihilation in the moderately strong field. It was demonstrated that the partial cross-section is factorized as a product of the cross section of the muon pair production from e ⁺ e ⁻ pair in the absence of the external field and the probability of emission and absorption of photons from the wave.
